EIA said in its weekly natural gas storage report that the LNG-carrying capacity of vessels departing US ports was 117 Bcf, down 19 Bcf from the previous week.
Cheniere’s Sabine Pass plant shipped and the company’s Corpus Christi facility each sent eight shipments during the week ending July 8, according to the report.
Moreover, Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines terminal and Sempra Infrastructure’s Cameron LNG terminal each shipped four cargoes, while Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass facility and the Freeport LNG terminal each sent three cargoes.
The Cove Point facility sent one cargo. The Elba Island facility did not ship cargoes during the week under review.
Henry Hub down
EIA reported that the Henry Hub spot price fell from $3.33/MMBtu last Wednesday to $3.31/MMBtu this Wednesday.
The agency said the average monthly price in July 2025 was $3.20/MMBtu by comparison.
Total natural gas consumption increased by 5.9 Bcf/d (2 percent), driven almost entirely by a 6.3 Bcf/d (16%) increase in electric power sector demand, according to LSEG data.
This increase was partially offset by a 0.5 Bcf/d (3 percent) decrease in LNG liquefaction, EIA said.
Temperatures were above average across much of the eastern United States, as a heat dome enveloped the region during the first half of the report week.
Total US natural gas supply decreased by 1.1 Bcf/d (1 percent), reflecting lower dry natural gas production, which averaged 109.4 Bcf/d, according to LSEG data.
TTF averaged $15.39/MMBtu
EIA said that the price at the Dutch Title Transfer Facility in Europe averaged $15.39/MMBtu, $1.36 higher than the previous week.
Moreover, the Japan-Korea Marker (JKM) price averaged $16.21/MMBtu, 45 cents higher than the previous week.
Compared with the week ending February 25 (before LNG deliveries via the Strait of Hormuz were disrupted), this week’s TTF and JKM prices are up by 40 percent and 52 percent, respectively, EIA said.
